Report of Sanitary Inspector, Bow West Division.
Public Health Department,
December 31st, 1916.
To the Medical Officer of Health.
Sir,
I beg to lay before you my twenty-seventh Annual Summary of
the Sanitary work carried out in my Division during the year ended
31st December, 1916, as follows:—
Inspections on complaints of nuisances 1,078
Do. on notifications of infectious diseases 461
Do. Canal Boats 32
Re-inspections 938
Making a total of 2,509 visits.
Details and results of such inspections from time to time have been
entered in the book kept for that purpose, as prescribed by the Public
Health (London) Act, 1891.
Of the total number (1,539 houses and other premises) of primary
inspections made, I found that various works of sanitary amendment
were needed to be carried out in 24.75 per cent, of the premises thus
inspected—requiring the service of 381 written intimations, 161 statutory,
and 36 final notices. In many of these cases, on the service of the usual
written intimations, which in all cases preceded the service of statutory
notices, the required works were executed by the respective persons
liable. In no case was it found necessary to have recourse to legal
proceedings.
Drainage Reconstructions.
Whole and partial reconstruction on old lines:—
Gawthorne Street, 31; Lamprell Street, 63, 65 and 67;
Old Ford Road, 263; Roman Road, 156a, 220; Ranwell Street,
5; St. Stephen's Road, 28, 30, 48 and 91; Tredegar Road, 45, 55
and 64.
